odarriba/supervisord repository overview

⁠docker-supervisord

A base image for Docker containers that uses supervisord to manage services.

⁠Usage

This image does not contain any service because it is thought to be used as base image for other containers.

To use it in your Dockerfile just use:

FROM odarriba/supervisord:latest

Then you can add new services managed by supervisord by creating a file in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/your_program_name.conf with something like this:

[program:your_program_name]
command=/path/to/your/program
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/path/to/error.log
stdout_logfile=/path/to/console.out.log

If your paths and permissions are correct, the program should start as a service the next time you run the container.

Note: It is very important that your program must not run in daemon mode. the reason is that supervisord will take this like an exit of the program and will launch it again in loop.

⁠Running containers using this image

Note that this image CMD is the bash console, so you have to run it with -i -t params to allow an interactive session.

But if you change the command run at startup, you would probably not have to do this, it is up to you.

⁠System updates

The image's operating system (Ubuntu 14.04) is up to date until the day of the last image build.
